When you’re traveling outside the Unites States, it’s important to consider the possibility that you might need medical care while traveling.
If you’re on a Medicare supplement plan, your plan offers up to $50,000 lifetime coverage outside of the United States.
If you’re on a Medicare Advantage plan, this coverage varies from plan to plan.
Thus, if you’re planning a big adventure on another continent, I recommend travel insurance.
No, I don’t offer travel insurance, but Rande and I have been using the travel insurance quote site squaremouth.com for years. That site shops a bunch of different travel policies and gives you choices in cost and coverage.
At squaremouth.com, check the dates you want. Note that it’s a good idea to add 5-7 days at beginning and end as that usually doesn’t change the price, yet it accommodates minor schedule changes.
Ideally, you should purchase travel insurance shortly after making your initial travel arrangements. That way pre-existing conditions are covered.
Use the squaremouth link, but also put my agent code at the end so I get a finders fee: 21587
If you have questions, call their toll-free number. I’ve found them to be very helpful.

Below, you’ll see a sample for an upcoming trip we’re taking. Trip cancellation is the most expensive part, and it’s an option. You can choose to include trip cancellation coverage or not. When we do a trip with a LOT of cash outlay, we usually insure the trip.
I always want the policy to be a primary payor.
Safe Travels!
